## Key points

- Paxton’s planned Alamo finale was cancelled.
- His campaign is ending at a Dallas-area restaurant.
- The Senate race with James Talarico is tight.

## Summary

Ken Paxton’s Texas Senate campaign has scrapped several late-stage events, including a planned finale at the Alamo, and is due to end with a small gathering at a suburban Dallas restaurant. The changes come as Paxton’s race against Democrat James Talarico is described as neck and neck, with a Republican defeat potentially ending the party’s 40-year hold on the seat.

The article says the Alamo event was announced without confirmed permission and was later dropped, alongside stops in El Paso, Texarkana and Tyler. A Republican insider criticised the campaign’s organisation and Paxton’s appeal, while reports of leaked recordings and past personal and legal controversies have added to the difficulties. Paxton denies wrongdoing in the cases described; he was acquitted after a 2023 impeachment and a securities fraud case was dropped in 2024 under an agreement.
